False, horses evolved in the Americas first, and precursor species as well as modern horses repeatedly migrated across the land bridge to Eurasia.
Then, about 12,000 years ago, they all died out in America, a long with all the other native Megafauna, right around the time a certain species with tools, fire, and a reputation to eating things into extinction showed up.
